A good Xmas laugh

Posted on December 31st, 2008 in Funny, Music, Movies & TV by michele

2008 has not been a good year for me, and I look forward to see whether there is any better to come in next one… and how to be really merry in this Xmas Season without a good laugh? :-)

If you’ve never seen it, I suggest you get your chance of watching Blackadder’s Christmas Carol… I can even lend it to you, just ask! :-)

Control

Posted on November 17th, 2008 in Music, Movies & TV by michele

How often things do not work out as we expected, planned, desired. We all have to cope with this in life. Lucky whoever has never been in such a situation…

Most of the times we find a way to leave the bad things behind us, even if it may take long time. On the other hand, some unpleasant situations stay with us for the rest of our lives… and we cannot do anything about it.

All in all, it’s a matter of maintaining control over our lives, not an easy task.

Control is a wonderful movie by Anton Corbijn, telling the troubled story of Ian Curtis and his band Joy Division. It’s all about keeping control, or accepting that we cannot achieve it…

The soundtrack is also very, very good…

Learning Italian - The funny way

Posted on November 11th, 2008 in Funny, Italy, Language, Music, Movies & TV by michele

Speaking many languages is great. I’d like to speak so many of them… and as of lately I’ve started tackling Russian…

On the other hand, many friends around the world tell me they’d like to speak Italian. Some of them even say that girls go crazy when you speak Italian, so… maybe you should try, too! I cannot but strongly recommend this Monty Pyhton’s Italian class… ;-)
